🔘 Subs
◻️Subscribers
On Twitch, subs is short for "subscribers." Viewers can subscribe (or "sub") to a Twitch Affiliate or Partner's channel to provide that streamer with financial support and gain subs-only perks.
Subs subscribe to their favorite streamers' channels, most often at the price of $4.99 per month. In return for their subscription, subs receive unique emotes and badges, access to subs-only chat channels, and other exclusive benefits.
Because streamers earn money for each sub they acquire, they often run promotions that encourage normal viewers to become subs. If you're ready to become a sub, click the Subscribe button that appears below a streamer's stream. If you're not ready to become a sub but still want to show a streamer your support, you can always toss them a dono.
(You Tubers also often refer to their subscribers as subs. They may also refer to the platform's Subscriptions feed as the Subs feed.)
❓Example

🔘 Mulligan
◻️To mulligan in a CCG, such as Hearthstone or Magic: The Gathering (MTG), means to replace all or some of the cards in your starting hand with new cards from your deck (giving you a "do over" on your starting hand). Players mulligan to make their starting hands better, so they have a better chance of winning the game.
Mulliganing takes place at the start of the game, before either player has taken their first turn. For example, in Hearthstone, players can mulligan before a game begins by selecting one or more cards in their starting hand that they'd like to replace with a random card from their deck. The player then draws as many replacement cards as needed, shuffles the card(s) they chose to mulligan into their deck, and starts the game.
Why are players allowed to mulligan in CCGs?
Because random chance can stick CCG players with absolutely abysmal starting hands, which would be auto-losses without the ability to mulligan. For example, if an MTG player who drew a seven land starting hand was forced to keep that hand, they would lose approximately 100% of the time. While certain decks (such as combo decks) can abuse the ability to mulligan, players typically use mulligans for their intended purpose - to produce better, more exciting games.
❓Example
I always mulligan with this deck; I need more early plays.
